I would say that they are the same. But, I really don't know.

Re: i have a dumb question.

single wheel axels are about 3" wider than the dual wheel axles....I ran into this building my 35 ford ton truck in order to keep the dualy's centered on the narrow front wheel base I had to use a single wheel axle and convert the studs to us it as a dually.........hope that makes sence

Re: i have a dumb question.

yea it makes sense the dually a smaller width because the rims need spacing between them. that sucks because i wanted to use the axle from the dually that im going to cut up

Re: i have a dumb question.

I can't help you, but I'd like to make a minor comment.

The only dumb question on this board is the one that doesn't get asked.We're all here to help each other and learn from each other.
You have a ton of knowledge that's only a keyboard away.

And welcome to the board.
